Xylotrechus stebbingi photographed at Bet Yehoshua near Natania on 8th May 2005. To my understanding it is a recently arrived pest of Eucalyptus trees. We were invited to a Bar mitsvah and it entered the tent where the goodies were being ladelled out, having been attracted to the light. (I'm afraid it was badly treated (squashed) to keep it quiet.
